    摘要: A thrust rod anchor for utilization in conjunction with a tied form of pipe joint restrainer system. The anchor utilizes spacers which are supported by flanges at their outer extremities and are bolted together over a pipe. A pipe engaging support is provided in conjunction with the outwardly disposed portions of the spacers in a manner wherein a rigid structural support is located adjacent to the surface of the pipe which serves to support and carry symmetrically disposed pipe engaging set screws. Thrust rods are connected to the assembly intermediate outwardly disposed connecting bolts and the set screws. The anchor assemblies of the invention have been shown to provide substantially enhanced anchoring resistance to thrust forces.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for presenting dynamic mapping information in a wireless network are useful in locating or identifying a desired service-providing device within the wireless network relative to a service-requesting device. The mapping information may be physical network mapping or it may be physical network mapping combined with logical network mapping. The mapping may further include supplemental information regarding the network and its devices. The physical network mapping provides information regarding the location of a service-providing device relative to a service-requesting device. Dynamic mapping information accommodates transient users of the wireless network, facilitating location or identification of a desired service-providing device in an unfamiliar network or surrounding.

    摘要: A printing device component having a memory tag with password protected data areas to control read and write access to the memory tag. The memory tag provides an encrypted authorization code to a printing device into which the component is installed. The printing device determines if the authorization code is valid and, if so, the printing device enables all printing device functions. Otherwise, limited functions are enabled. The memory tag utilizes encryption methods to allow only authorized user access to read from and write to selected data areas of the memory tag.

    摘要: Systems and methods are described that allow customization of user messages in a printing system. A printing device includes a replaceable component that includes component memory. First and second message data are stored in the component memory, the message data being message text or a pointer to message text. If the message data is a pointer to message text, the message text is stored in printing device memory, in memory of a host computer or on a remote site accessible via a host computer. A first message is displayed to a user in response to detection of a first event. A second message is displayed to the user in response to detection of a second event. If the message data are pointers to message text external to the printing device, an entity delivering the messages can change the message text without reconfiguring the printing device.
